Summary

A thorough analysis of Allied actions after learning about the horrors of Nazi concentration camps - includes survivors' firsthand accounts.

Why did they wait so long? Among the myriad questions of what the Allies could have done differently in World War II, understanding why it took them so long to respond to the horrors of the Nazi concentration camps - specifically Auschwitz - remains vital today.

In Auschwitz and the Allies, Martin Gilbert presents a comprehensive look into the series of decisions that helped shape this particular course of the war, and the fate of millions of people, through his eminent blend of exhaustive devotion to the facts and accessible, graceful writing.

Through firsthand accounts by escaped Auschwitz prisoners, Gilbert reconstructs the span of time between Allied awareness and definitive action in the face of overwhelming evidence of Nazi atrocities.

Contains mature themes.

Informative....

interesting and challenging all at the same time. It had me captivated right from the start of the book. The narrator was very good.

Definitely worth a listen!

I enjoyed this Audio book. Lots of interesting facts about Auschwitz. It’s the sort of book I think I would listen to again and still gain more information the second time around!

Good book - odd narration

Martin Gilbert is a fantastic historian and I have read most of his books. My only gripe was the robotic narrative style. The reader has a sort of English accent (appropriate as Gilbert was British) and much of this book focuses on the British political POV. Weirdly many of the words spoken had US pronunciation which sounded very odd with the English accent.
